European Stocks Recover From Earlier Losses to Finish Higher

European stocks closed Thursday on a higher note, bouncing back from losses registered earlier in today’s session, on the back of positive financial disclosures and an improved risk appetite.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose by 0.1%, after falling by as much as 2% earlier.

The French benchmark index CAC40 rose by 0.93, while the German DAX closed higher by 0.33%.

Meanwhile, the UK’s FTSE100 finished the session lower by 0.63%.
